“Every African-American is bilingual, all of us, we speak street vernacular and we speak job interview”. The crowd roars with laughter at comedian Dave Chappelle's words. But even as the comedian smirks, there’s something in his face that shows that what he said wasn't entirely a joke.

Although i was glad i was also extremely tired from the whole way, so i decided to take a nap. What felt like a half hour laugh turned out to be five hours.

trouble and returned to last period. My last period class was study hall which is a time where you could study and do homework. But on that day I didn’t do any of those things, I walked around the school trying to run away from embarrassment. It worked, I managed to stay away from the people who I knew.
